Twin Towers replaced with a tribute to Islam

See the source image

After the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed by al-Qaeda, the question was “What shall we build to replace it?”  There were many suggestions.  Some said build it back exactly the way it was.  Lease holder Larry Silverstein said build four towers of the same height.  A few said leave it empty, because nothing could replace it or the lives that were lost.

Instead, we got the One World Trade Center.  (Originally called the “Freedom Tower”.  The name was changed because the word “freedom” offended the Muslim community.)

Big question.  Why didn’t George W. Bush rebuild it when he was president?  Wouldn’t that have helped his approval ratings, especially in his second term?  The reason why is – Bush knew what was replacing it – a tribute to Islam.

If you’ll remember, for years, people said, “If we rebuild the Twin Towers, won’t the terrorists knock it down again?  What shall be done?”  Closet Muslim President Barack Obama would approve of the new edifice.

What proof is there that the One World Trade Center has anything to do with Islam?

PYRAMID SYMBOLISM

Kaaba-911

One of the main reasons the Twin Towers were chosen for destruction – a belief from the Arab world that the towers were symbolic of a penis – and that America was bragging that it had two.

Post 9/11 symbolism:  The One World Trade Center – [the Arab penis] and the former Twin Towers [two gaping holes, an anus and a vagina.]

Reading this, you may not want to believe it, but most other cultures are centuries old, and have ancient beliefs in symbolism.

Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Obama and others have expressed interest in his permanent establishment as leader of the United Nations.  If something ever happened to the USA (nuclear war, e.g.), what would replace us as the world leader?  The U.N.

Were the Twin Towers built to fall?  Were they designed for destruction to help usher in the Beast system?  Was it somehow known from the beginning that early in the 21st Century, our President would begin a “War on Terror”?  That he would be followed by a president who would help spread Muslim immigrants all over the world?  Will all of this culminate in a final showdown between Islam and the Western world?  WWIII?

CHEMNITZ – GROUND ZERO

See the source image

“No Access for Terror” (Chemnitz, Germany)

Chemnitz, Germany, August 27, 2018.  During a concert, two foreign Muslim immigrants, one Iraqi, one Syrian, viciously stabbed a man to death who intervened when they tried to sexually harass a woman.  Two other Germans were also injured.  Citizens of Chemnitz flooded the streets in protest of a government that no longer represents them.  The European press described them as “neo-Nazis and far right- wing extremists.”  Video of the event proves otherwise.  They’re just ordinary people fed up with seeing Europe being turned into a haven for terrorism and rape.

Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel has commented – not against the murder, but against the protestors – saying, “Hate will not be allowed on German streets.”

Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Angela Merkel, the U.N., the NWO, they are all paving the way for an Islamic Europe.  Leftist ideology is obliterating Western civilization.

My personal feeling is that the German people cannot wait for another election to remove Merkel.  She must go now, before it’s too late.  Send her away, far away, where this ugly, potato-faced fraud can do no more damage.

Never Let Me Go (2005)

Never Let Me Go.jpg

“I was taken aback at how densely detailed each one was…There was something vulnerable about each of them.” by Kazuo Ishiguro

A Novel by Kazuo Ishiguro

In an alternate world, disease is eradicated through the use of organ transplants.  These donations are from human clones.  The “special” people are kept in a protected environment, in boarding schools and government housing.  Most are accepting of their fate.  It’s understood that after three or four donations, they will die:  “completion” as they call it.

In what is the most telling part of the story, a teacher warns her students that, “You will never have regular jobs.  You will never marry or have children.  Your lives have already been decided for you.”  (She is immediately fired.)  The next day, the head of the school condemns her, calling this an act of “subversion”.

“Forward thinking always has its detractors.  We will not be swayed.”

The students applaud.

An allegory?

Here in America, we have Generation Snowflake.  The term “snowflake” originally began as a compliment.  “We may look alike, yet we are all different.”

As most of you are aware, there have been calls for the shutting down of free speech.  “Free Speech” according to Gen. Snowflake is “dangerous”.  Snowflakes want “safe spaces free of micro-aggressions.”

On Nov. 8, 2016, you saw the reactions from the snowflake crowds when Donald Trump won.

Alex Jones Portrait (cropped).jpg Two years later, we are witnessing right-wing commentators being deplatformed from the Internet.  YouTube, Facebook, Twitter are all guilty of shadow-banning.  Far-left politicians claim that “Hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment.”

Where is all this going?

What happens in ten years when Gen. Snowflake runs the world?  Will writers be arrested for articles like this?  Five years ago, you may have laughed at this suggestion.  Who’s laughing now?

First, comes the silencing of the opposition.  Next, there will be prison for anyone who speaks or writes something that may inspire a crime.  The truth is, anything may potentially inspire a crime:  a cartoon, a videogame, a film.  Shall we ban everything that’s potentially offensive?  Will TV programs made in the twentieth-century be removed for not being PC enough?  What about books?  All forms of media or art?

We are entering dark times, times where if we don’t fight for the right to be heard, we will lose this, our most basic freedom.

The Day the Clown Cried (1972)

See the source image

Jerry Lewis portrays Helmut Doork in “The Day the Clown Cried”

Jerry Lewis unreleased film on the Holocaust has become something of a legend.  Filmed in Sweden, much of it with his own money, it remains an enigma, seen by only a few people.  What happened?

In 1971, producer Nat Wachsberger offered Jerry Lewis the role, plus the chance to direct.  Lewis agreed, believing it would put him in the realm of serious filmmakers.

Things started to go awry when he began tinkering with the screenplay, trying to make it “funny”.  At the time, Jerry Lewis owned a small theater chain with plans of releasing it in his own theaters.   These theaters catered to a family viewing audience.  How can you release a depressing saga about genocide for the kiddies?  So, Jerry Lewis set out with the impossible task of making a family-friendly Holocaust film – Rated PG.

1972.  During filming, producer Wachsberger failed to come up with the needed funding – Lewis was forced to pay for it himself.  Upon completion, the unpaid screenwriters (Joan O’Brien and Charles Denton) didn’t approve of the film and didn’t want it to be released.  Wachsberger kept the original print.  Jerry, having his own copy, took it back to the States.  Due to all the legal problems, ownership issues and copyright difficulties, “Clown” became unreleasable.  Because the writers weren’t paid, they retained copyright control.

Years passed,.  Jerry Lewis said “Clown” was complete or nearly finished, required some editing and that it would be released eventually.  Until…

Back in the late 70’s , D.J. Casey Kasem was one of the emcees for the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon.  Jerry loaned Kasem a videotape copy of “Clown”, which he unwisely loaned to actor Harry Shearer.  Shearer leaked it to the press that “The Day the Clown Cried” was a turkey – wrong in every aspect of development.  Lewis outraged, fired Casey Kasem from the telethon and locked up his movie.

Towards the end of his life, Jerry commented that “Clown” had become an “embarrassment” to him, that he thought he “could pull it off, but couldn’t.”  For a while, he said he burned it, which wasn’t true.  “The Day the Clown Cried” was donated to the Library of Congress and won’t be released until the year 2024.

My personal opinion is that Jerry Lewis’ film is neither the best or the worst movie ever made.  It remains a curiosity item; a lost fragment of cinema.

Omarosa’s Espionage

Did former reality show star Omarosa always have plans to betray President Trump?

See the source image

Didn’t he take a nobody and make her famous on his show “The Apprentice”?  In 2016, she was made Director of African-American Outreach for his presidential campaign.  In 2017, she was chosen to be Trump’s presidential assistant and director of communications.  A year later she was fired.  As it turns out, she was secretly recording meetings.

Pres. Trump needs a full-on investigation into anyone who could be backing her financially.  Was there a pay-off?

The MSM seems all on board with a “You go, girlfriend!”  Anything to bring Trump down.  Except, isn’t it illegal to record someone without their knowledge?  Didn’t the Nixon White House self-destruct over Watergate?

Trump needs to make an example of this Judas-fucking-traitor.  Stop with the tweets and bring out an arrest warrant.

Important Video Information

Scenes

Sometimes a scene from a movie stays in your head.  Some examples…

Amadeus (1984)

Besides containing some of the most beautiful music ever composed, it perfectly casts Tom Hulce as Mozart and F. Murray Abraham as Salieri.  (Both nominated for Best Actor, Abraham won the Oscar.)

What’s so hilarious and so tormenting is how Mozart insults Salieri without knowing it.  He describes his earlier work to him as “a funny little piece”.  Mozart then replays Salieri’s music, changing it, drastically improving it, while Salieri’s face falls, realizing that he himself isn’t the great composer he thought he was.  (Video is from crazyman4985 on YouTube.)

Ordinary People (1980)  Contains spoilers.

Towards the film’s conclusion, Calvin Jarrett (Donald Sutherland) has to tell his wife Beth (Mary Tyler Moore) that he doesn’t love her anymore.  There’s tragedy in this, but there’s something brilliant about it.  It could easily have fallen into soap opera mode, but doesn’t.  Why?  Because of a very real performance by Sutherland and those magnificent words by author Judith Guest, adapted by Alvin Sargent.  “You’re so cautious, but your not strong.  Do you love me?  Do you really love me?”  (Video is from sagn on YouTube.)

The Birds (1963)

The birds are already on the rampage.  After an attack, Mitch and Melanie (Rod Taylor and Tippi Hedren) go looking for his little sister, Cathy.  (Veronica Cartwright.)  They find her in her teacher’s house, crying.  Her teacher, Annie Hayworth (Suzanne Pleshette) is lying nearby dead, mutilated, her eyes pecked out.  Taking Cathy away in the car, she tells them what happened.  “The birds came and she pushed me in the house.  And the birds covered her…”  It’s made even more sad, because Annie is one of Mitch’s castoff girlfriends.

Lord of the Flies

See the source image

“The flies were black and iridescent green and without number.  In front of Simon, the Lord of the Flies hung on a stick and grinned.   At last, Simon gave up and looked back; saw the white teeth and dim eyes, the blood – and his gaze was held by that ancient, inescapable, recognition.”  From Lord of the Flies by William Golding, 1954.

A breakdown of civilization – tribalism – violence – murder.  Sound familiar?  It isn’t just part of William Golding’s novel.  It’s what happening right now.  Americans are breaking up into different groups.  If you’re not part of that group (or at least agree with their rules), you will be shunned or attacked.  So far, much of this has remained one-sided.  It cannot remain so.

On July 25, a Mexican attacked Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with a pick-axe.  Leftists called it abstract art.  What do you think?

Trump’s star: before and after.

Trumpers who wear MAGA hats or t-shirts face continued threats of violence.

When is lethal force required?  Will a man be forced to defend himself with lethal force, if an angry mob wants to kill him?

“But, doesn’t Trump preach hate and division?  Hasn’t he caused this violence?”

The left blame President Trump for their own actions.  They preach peace + tolerance, then want to kill you.

Much has been made of Trump’s immigration policies:  securing our borders.  The left want to disband ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and begin a new open border policy.

Next month marks seventeen years since 9/11.  Did you know that many school children don’t know how it happened?  They don’t know the hijackers were Muslim (mostly Saudi) and were here through illegal visas.  Some don’t know who Osama bin Laden was.  How’d that happen?  Isn’t this recent history?  When did 9/11 become a vague incident caused by unknown terrorists?

I noticed at the library, a lot of books on 9/11 have disappeared.  It is as Al Gore said, “An Inconvenient Truth”.

Former Pres. Obama called Muslim immigrants “pilgrims” – just like the ones who landed on Plymouth Rock.  Do you believe him?  After seeing what they’ve done to Europe, do you still believe him?   Text © 2018 – ERN

Alex Jones “Infowars” Censored – Who’s Next?

Alex Jones Portrait (cropped).jpg

Controversial news commentator Alex Jones has been permanently removed from YouTube, Facebook and Apple for alleged “hate speech”.  The mainstream media have fought Jones for years.  As the aged MSM fades, they seek to remove “Inforwars” platforms.  (And anybody else who is a perceived threat.)

Infowars.com remains on the Internet, however YouTube and Facebook control millions of viewers.  This is a major blow for the First Amendment.  The move to censor is a growing trend from the left, who think free speech is “dangerous”.

The far-left have dominated the major networks and cable stations for decades – until the Internet.  And now that an opposing viewpoint comes their way, they attempt to silence it.  The left preach fairness and tolerance – this is pure sham.  Hypocrisy in a nutshell.  Anyone with a opposing thought is at first ignored, then ridiculed, and finally terminated.

Make no mistake, those higher up on the food-chain have something to do with this.  They (the government, the NWO, the MSM, China) want full control of YouTube and Facebook:  anything normal, middle-class America watches.  They already monopolize television.

“Hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment.”  Hillary Clinton

Some of you reading this will say, “So what?  I don’t like Alex Jones!”  The problem with that is the domino effect.  Sooner or later, when you start picking and choosing which content is “acceptable” you go down that slippery slope of no return.  If everything that’s potentially offensive is removed, so goes Saturday Night Live, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and other satirical content.

The unexpected winner of all this is BitChute, an alternate video website, that’s growing by leaps and bounds.

I urge viewers to abandon YouTube.  They’re censoring free speech.

If Hillary Runs Again…

The sad fact that Hillary Clinton may run for president again has finally crept into the mainstream media.  (I’ve been saying it for over a year.)  Naysayers deny it by saying, “She’s too old, too ill, past her prime, the DNC doesn’t want her, etc.  Frankly speaking, if Hillary’s head were kept alive in a bottle of formaldehyde, she’d still run.  (And if you don’t vote for her, you’re a bigot – a bigot against disembodied heads!)

See the source image

The MSM will have to make a choice.  Will they back her or geriatric Joe Biden?  My prediction – it will be Clinton.  The MSM won’t be able to resist the “Rematch of the Century” headlines.  Yes, they know she looks awful, her health’s deteriorating, and she has the charm of a rattlesnake, but the Dems will overlook it.  They’re good at that.

Recently, Steve Bannon, Trump’s former right hand man, was harassed in a bookstore, by a psychotic woman who called him “a piece of trash.”  It turns out, the mystery woman is one of Clinton’s operatives.  If Clinton is paying a staff of thugs to go after Trump’s people, that means she’s running.

Important Note:  Never put your guard down around Mrs. Clinton.  We’re talking about America’s worst crime family.  She has no reservations about killing her enemies.

from saboteur365wordpress

Hillary is obsessed about getting even with Trump.  She thinks about it 24 hours a day.  She can’t get over it.  By 2020, she’ll be out campaigning in the rust belt, maybe in a wheelchair.

from legalinsurrection.com

Pres. Trump has a number of advantages.  In ’20, he could pass a voter I.D. law or take other measures in stopping the rampant cheating Dems do every election.  He could invalidate all votes from illegal aliens.  He could place surveillance cameras in voting areas.  I would also recommend no presidential debates.  Trump has nothing to gain from them.  No matter what happens, the MSM will say she’s won.  HRC will cry “Chicken!”  Let her.  She’s still a loser.

What do I take away from this?  HRC doesn’t care that she’s putting this country through hell.  She wants to be president and that’s all there is to it.  The thing of it is, she can’t win.  She’s spoiled goods.  She stinks.  And 2020 will be the final nail in the coffin of her political career.

Left’s Plan for Revolution (Future War Pt. 2)

How will it begin?  What will be the trigger for a Communist uprising from the new far left?  Is it mere hype and rumor or the real thing?

There are serious plans for such an event.  How far will it go?

In the past, such traumas were borne in 1968, (MLK and RFK assassinations, riots, Dem. convention), 1992, (L.A. riots), 2016, (Trump’s election), could have led to an upheaval.  What’s different now?  The MSM continually feeds into the already disordered thinking of those who want Trump removed from office.  It won’t stop there.  Frustrated by their failed attempts to impeach Pres. Trump, the radical left will move on to more drastic plans.

2020 – THE BREAKING POINT – PRESIDENT TRUMP’S RE-ELECTION  

Hypothetically, (or maybe not), Democrats will not be willing to wait out another four years.  It’s worth mentioning that top leaders within the Dems could’ve stopped this.  (I’m speaking of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.)  The fact is, they didn’t want to.  On the contrary, they fanned the flames of discontent.

The far left plans to kill Trump and then launch a full-scale overthrow – a Communist-style revolution.

The usual suspects:  ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter, Communist/Socialist orgs, illegal aliens, Muslim groups, college radicals and feminists, certain Hollywood celebrities.

What if foreign troops become involved?  China?  Various anti-American countries from South America?  How far will this go?

I believe with a new President, Mike Pence, it will be time for him to launch a military attack on those who threaten our very way of existence.  If Pence acts quickly, any foreign interventions will be stillborn.  I am very serious in saying that there is no other way of dealing with these people, except by brute force.  The National Guard won’t be enough.  You’ll see tanks rolling down Wall Street.

 

While leftist extremists envision a red flag flying over the White House, that will never happen.

Questions remain.  If the worst happens, we, the real Americans cannot allow the Democratic Party to plead “Not Guilty.”  If that day ever comes, and we ask who and why Mr. X pulled the trigger, le me say, it came from the actions of those on the very top.

See the source image

Hillary Clinton’s continual “campaign” against Trump, her inability to accept defeat, her insane quest for revenge, her fictionalized account of a Trump/Russian stolen election, have led some to believe that somehow she should be president.  These plans and her fanaticism will be heightened if, God forbid, she runs and loses again.  HRC would be directly responsible for the worst case scenario earlier described.

Marilyn Monroe’s Last Movie

Most consider “The Misfits” as Marilyn Monroe’s last film; however, there were a number of failed attempts to cast her in other pictures.  Most famous of all is “Something’s Got to Give”, abandoned by 20th Century Fox after MM’s numerous absences.  A last attempt to finish it, after Monroe was fired, then rehired, ended when she died on August 5, 1962.

Marilyn Monroe’s costume tests for “Something’s Got to Give”

The plot:  A woman returns after being lost on a desert island, finding out her husband has just remarried.  The first video is of a 1990’s TV special commenting on what transpired.

Recently restored by 20th Century Fox, the video below attempts to piece together what was filmed.  (37 minutes in length.)

   Funniest scene:  Wally Cox in the shoe store.

   Also contains MM’s nude swim, a major event in ’62.

 “The Misfits” (1961.)  Arthur Miller’s saga of how a woman changes the lives of three down and out losers.  Also starring Clark Gable, Eli Wallach and Montgomery Clift.  “Misfits” didn’t connect with audiences then, but is more appreciated today.

   Best performance:  Montgomery Clift as Perce Howland.

   Clark Gable died of a heart attack shortly after filming.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) 

   Based on the novella by Truman Capote.  The author urged the studio to cast Marilyn as Holly Golightly.  Turned down by the director Blake Edwards because of MM’s notorious reputation for being late, high, sick and/or forgetting her lines.

Monroe lost role of Holly Golightly to Audrey Hepburn who received an Oscar nomination for “Best Actress”

“They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?”  Rights to this were then owned by Charlie Chaplin, who offered MM the lead role.  She turned it down, believing it was about horses.  (Plot concerns marathon dance contests in the 1930’s.)

    Released in 1969, starring Jane Fonda, who received an Oscar nomination for “Best Actress”.

   “Freud” (1962)

Actor friend Montgomery Clift tried to get Marilyn cast as Freud’s wife.  Susan Kohner was cast instead.

undefined  “What a Way to Go!”  (1964)

Dark comedy about a wife whose five husbands all die for one reason or another.  Shirley MacLaine inherited the role.

Last major public appearance.  M.M. sings “Happy Birthday” to President Kennedy.  Host Peter Lawford refers to her as “the late Marilyn Monroe.”

The Future War

“Politics isn’t like war.  It is war.”   President Lyndon Baines Johnson

On Nov. 8, 2016, voters rejected the status quo candidate named Hillary Clinton.  Against all odds, Donald Trump stood against the devil and spit in her eye.

This was only the beginning.  Since then, the enemy has sought to circumvent Trump’s presidency.  (“Refusing to normalize,” as they call it.)

Examples of this are the Women’s March, ANTIFA, Berkley riots, shooting of Scalise, fake Russia probe, Mueller investigation, GOP Republican train crash, etc.  The list goes on.

Charlottesville, VA.  August 11-12, 2017.  Riots break out between the far right and the far left.  The MSM calls those on the right, “Nazis”.

No one knows what the future brings, but let’s examine one look into what might happen.

Election Year, 2020.  Democrats once again convince themselves that their candidate will win hands down.  After all the hoopla, conventions, debates, polling, commercials and rallies, Pres. Trump is re-elected.  What do you think their reaction will be?  To say Dems came unhinged in ’16, would be an understatement.  In ’20, they will go insane.  Provoked by the MSM fake news, there are many dangerous individuals out there who would see it as their “sacred duty” to stop President Trump by any means necessary.

Assassination?  The presidential death curse by Indian chief Tecumseh.  (Also known as the election year ending in the number “zero’ curse.)  Every U.S. President since William Harrison has died in office, with two exceptions.

One.  Pres. William Harrison, elected 1840.  Died from pneumonia, 1941.

Two.  Pres. Abraham Lincoln, elected 1860.  Assassinated 1865.

Three.  Pres. James Garfield, elected 1880.  Assassinated 1881.

Four.  Pres. William McKinley, elected 1900.  Assassinated 1901.

Five.  Pres. Warren Harding, elected 1920.  Cause of death in dispute, 1923.

Six.  Pres. Franklin Roosevelt, elected 1940.  Fatal stroke, 1945.

Seven.  Pres. John Kennedy, 1960.  Assassinated 1963.

  Pres. Ronald Reagan was nearly assassinated on March 30, 1981.  Reagan miraculously recovered from a bullet wound, one inch from his heart.  Who is to say God did not step in and save his life?  Reagan himself believed this.

  Election Year 2000.  Who was the real winner?  If the Supreme Court had not stopped the recounts, would then VP Al Gore have been elected President?  Many say yes.  If true, George W. Bush was not officially elected.

Election Year, 2020.  If Donald Trump assumes office, once again, as many are predicting, the manic hysteria from the left will be at a fever pitch.

Can the Secret Service be trusted?  If former Pres. Obama infiltrated various gov’t agencies with those who could be considered disloyal, would it be so hard to do the same with the Secret Service?  Will they be given order to stand down in the event of an assassination attempt?  If 9/11 could occur, as our gov’t feigns helplessness, would this aforementioned plot be made impossible?

Hypothetically, let’s suppose the unthinkable happens.  What will the MSM report?  That it was caused by Trump’s “hateful rhetoric”?  That Democrats were pushed over the edge and couldn’t help themselves?  What will be the reaction from Trump protestors?  This, I can say without reservation.  There will be celebrations in the streets.  And if our President is killed, (unlike a former foreign imposter), then it will be time to bring them down.

Notice of warning to Democrats:  if you’re stupid enough to cheer the death of Trump, prepare to suffer the consequences.

Miss America Ends Swimsuit Competition

Miss America dumps swimsuit competition

In 1921, the Miss America beauty pageant began as a bathing beauty contest.  As of now, it’s been discontinued.

The contest, long targeted by feminists, is now being run by women.  The Me-Tooer’s and other fanatical groups have always hated Miss America.  This move will eventually dismantle it.  The result will be declining ratings.  Men will have no reason to watch.  People who disagree should read a book about biology.

Gretchen carlson cropped retouched.jpg  Former FoxNews hostess Gretchen Carlson is one of the women behind this malcontent.  Ironically, she was a former winner.  (I’m not sure why.)  Carlson is known for suing Fox’s CEO Robert Ailes – sending him off into retirement.

The evening gown competition has also been canceled, replaced by “women wearing what they feel like.”  Why not a smelly sweatshirt and stained yoga pants?

I suspect feminists will also target Miss USA and Miss Universe.

Is this an end of an antiquated tradition?  Or are feminists throwing a wet blanket over the proceedings.  And will the contest be decided on politically-loaded questions, designed to remove anyone who isn’t PC enough?

Dorothy Stratten Murder Case

Quotes by Dorothy Stratten @ Like Success

Just on the cusp of the 1980’s, Playboy magazine chose Dorothy Stratten as “Playmate of the Year”.  She was to be groomed as their latest sex symbol.  Would Stratten be the next Marilyn Monroe?

August 14, 1980.  Dorothy Stratten is murdered by her husband Paul Snider with a shotgun blast to her face.  Snider would do the same to himself.  What went wrong?  Why couldn’t this have been prevented?  It was always about control.

Paul Snider, a small-time pimp from Vancouver, wanted to enter the big leagues and with Dorothy, he nearly made it.  In 1977, he found her working at a “Dairy Queen” and eventually convinced her to be Playboy’s latest model.

Founder Hugh Hefner immediately saw her potential.  Stratten would be their greatest star.

In 1979, Paul marries Dorothy.  He now has fifty percent controlling interest.

Dorothy with Peter Bogdanovich

Dorothy and Paul’s marriage was never a good one.  Why she agreed to it, I can’t be sure, but Snider used it as a way to keep as much of her income as possible.  She felt she owed him her career, even though she never wanted to pose nude or achieve fame and fortune.  It was all Paul’s idea.

Peter Bogdanovich saw in Dorothy, his soulmate.  You could say his movie was the only thing she did that wasn’t exploitive.  Dorothy was willing to end her marriage for him, but not for herself.

What convinced her to ultimately leave him?

I suspect it was the poisoning of her puppy – a gift from Hefner.  Snider could be jealous even of a dog.  People who abuse animals often progress to people.

At the “Playmate of the Year” ceremony, you can see Dorothy pulling away from Paul, flinching, not being able to hold his hand or let him touch her.  He knew he was losing control.

In 1980, Dorothy had begun living with Peter.  Paul was aware of this.  He had hired detectives to follow her.

A last attempt to make money off a poster of Dorothy was rejected.  (Peter advised her of this.)

Finally, Hefner barred Paul from the Playboy mansion.  From then on, he would be allowed entry only if accompanied by his wife.

Cocaine was the drug of choice at the time and Paul used it for a paranoid high.  Add to this, his belief that he was losing Dorothy – his only ticket to the big time and…

The future may have seemed bright for Dorothy Stratten.  She had several features in the works.  A western (“Harry Tracy’) and Playboy’s version of “Little Annie Fanny”.  Plus, Peter’s forthcoming movie.

The only problem she had left was Paul.  What did he want?

Snider wanted a house, a green card, full access back inside the Playboy mansion, half of Dorothy’s money and, of course, he wanted his wife back.

“Star 80” (1983), a mostly inaccurate version of what happened, starring Mariel Hemingway (who looks nothing like Dorothy), focuses a great deal on that last day.  It can’t be known what they said, but it is known that Paul raped his wife, killed her and then raped her again.

Why did Dorothy go alone?  Didn’t she or Peter see this coming?  Although, Peter was unaware of her visit, why was she faced with the task of facing a dangerous man by herself?

Bogdanovich partially blamed Hefner for his magazine’s ethics.  He would go on to marry her younger sister, Louise, later ending in divorce.

“Roseanne” Canceled: Not PC Enough

Two weeks prior to ABC’s removal of “Roseanne”, the network announced they were “dialing back” the star’s support for Trump in the following season.  The fact is:  ABC was embarrassed by the new found popularity of a previously dead show.  As in real life, blue-collar workers (those in the rust belt) helped Donald Trump win the presidency.  That’s what Roseanne’s character became.  ABC was just looking for a reason, ANY reason to cancel it.

Roseanne Barr’s tweet, a joke about Valerie Jarrett being a cross between the Muslim Brotherhood and “Planet of the Apes” has been misinterpreted.  Ms. Jarrett is not a natural-born U.S. citizen.  She was born in Iran; therefore, you cannot call her “African-American”, regardless of her parentage.

Barr meant her joke to be about Muslims, who are not a race.  How can this be about racism?

Q.  If any entertainer made a reference to Pres. Trump looking like an ape, do you think they’d be fired?

  • Madonna said she thought about blowing up the White House.
  • Snoop Dogg made a music video, showing a clown-faced Trump being “shot”.
  • Robert DeNiro said he’d like to punch Trump in the face.

Were any of these people punished for what they said?

People should be asking why Pres. Obama’s chief advisor (Ms. Jarrett) has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood – and – why Obama gave them billions of dollars during the “Arab Spring”.  People should ask why Obama threw away our victory in Iraq, then allowed ISIS to form a caliphate.  People should ask why Obama allowed torture and mass genocide against Christians in the Middle East.

Instead, comedienne Roseanne Barr is being demonized for making a dumb joke.

Seconds (1966) Movie Review

See the source image

Still from “Seconds” (1966)

thHMQXSEEPth670U29EYthI3PS903TSeconds poster.jpg

David Ely’s spellbinding novel “Seconds” became a Paramount film that failed miserably at the box office.  Since then, it has gained respect amongst science-fiction fans.  Additionally, Criterion has issued a blu-ray version with a few minutes of added footage.

So, what went wrong?  Why didn’t “Seconds” connect with ’66 audiences?  Several reasons…

  • Grim storyline.
  • Filmed in black & white, then considered “old”.
  • Audiences not ready to accept Rock Hudson in this type of role.
  • Too ahead of its time.

Today’s audience understand because…

  • Far-out freaky cinematography by James Wong Howe.
  • John Frankenheimer’s tight direction – an expert at realism.
  • Considered to be one of Rock Hudson’s best roles.
  • Black & white gives it that “classic” look.
  • Jerry Goldsmith’s score.
  • Superb supporting cast, some formerly blacklisted during the McCarthy era.  (Will Geer, Jeff Corey and co-star John Randolph.)
  • Story is more plausible today, then in the past.

WARNING – REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!

From the nightmarish opening credits by Saul Bass, we realize we are in for something different.

Arthur Hamilton (John Randolph) is a middle-aged businessman trapped in a lifeless marriage, a boring job and a desperate desire to change it.  He receives phone calls from a friend named Charlie – someone he believed to be dead – telling him about a second chance at life.

This secret organization will transform its members into “reborns” or “seconds” – men physically transformed by plastic surgery, ready to begin a new life.

Hesitantly, Mr. Hamilton visits the company, unsure of what to expect.  While there, Mr. Ruby (a very funny performance by Jeff Corey) explains things:  how his duplicate body will be discovered, etc.  (“The question of death selection may be the most important decision of your life!”)

Arthur H. is still not ready to sign until he is shown a film of what looks like him raping their secretary.  This company takes no precautions, having drugged him earlier by putting him in this compromising position.  At last, he speaks with the founder (Will Geer known as the “old man”), a benevolent-looking soul who convinces him that “Seconds” is the way to go.

Following extensive plastic surgery, he is congratulated as the doctors “masterpiece”.  Arthur Hamilton is now Antiochus “Tony” Wilson, (Rock Hudson), a painter, already established with a place to live and a butler.  (Wesley Addy as John.)

While walking on the beach, Tony conveniently meets Nora Marcus (Salome Jens), who becomes his new girlfriend.  But all is not well.  Those who work for “Seconds” can see their client is not happy.  Nevertheless, Nora introduces Tony to a hedonistic lifestyle – parties, sex, new people, until…Tony in a drunken state, inadvertently begins telling the party guests who he was.  Carrying him off to another room, he looks up and is told by John that the others are like him.  “Reborns.”  Nora enters, screaming, “Who the hell do you think you are?!!”

The next morning, Charlie phones again warning “Arthur” to stay there.  Instead, Tony visits his old home and former wife (Francis Reid.)  Under the guise of being a recent friend of her departed husband, Tony asks for a painting as a keepsake.  His “wife” informs him that all his paintings have been “cleared out”.  Tony/Arthur realizes that she has moved on, especially when she describes him as “a stranger in his own house,” “a quiet man who never let anything touch him.”

Walking out, John drives up saying, “I’m sorry, Mr. Wilson,” which says a lot.

Tony Wilson is taken back to the company.  Mr. Ruby asks if he’ll sponsor any new clients.  He is able to put him off.

After extensive photography of his body, he is taken to “the room”, where a number of men wait, are given desk work and sedatives.  There, he meets Charlie (Murray Hamilton), his sponsor, who thought he’d “make it.”

Once again, Mr. Ruby asks Tony for sponsorship.  After turning he down, the die is cast.

The next morning, Tony is awakened by the old man.

“I sure hope’d you’d make it.  Make your dream come true.”

“Maybe, I never had a dream.”

The old man explains that the company has had a high rate of failures.  Unfortunately, the organization has grown too big and the board won’t let him end it.

Doctors enter and Mr. Wilson believes it’s for new plastic surgery…until he’s given his last rites.

The same doctor who performed his transformation apologizes, saying, “You were my best work, Mr. Wilson.  Cranial drill.”

Tony Wilson’s body is to be used for another “reborn”.

As his consciousness fades, the “dream” appears.  On a beach, a man carries his child on his shoulders, a dog running in the background.  The dream ends when the drill bores itself into his brain.
